Board

What are the daily activities of an Internal Affairs & Public Relations Coordinator? Obviously, this ecompasses the recruitment and guidance of committees and the promotion of events. But your functions are broader than this, and are widely varied. Below I will illustrate this.

It is considered a cliche, but VESTING would not be able to survive without its active members and it is your job to motivate members to become active and to keep them enthusiastic. Besides the recruitment of committees, you conduct the interviews and the constructions of good committees are your responsibility. But, this is not all. You are the coordinator of a share of the committees that VESTING has. You are the bridge between these committees and the board. Apart from helping the committees with any questions they have, you report their progress to the rest of your board during weekly meetings. Therefore, you have a lot of contact with (active) members!

Furthermore, as Internal Affairs, you cooperate with the faculty in search for mentors to guide first year students in their first semester. Again, here you are responsible for both their recruitment and their interviews. The difference from regular VESTING Committees is that mentors apply for the job with the faculty. Once the board decides on who the assign as a mentor, you discuss this choice the faculty for their final approval.

Since VESTING has a lot of fun activities and events to offer to her members, as Public Relations Coordinator it is important that the students know about them! You will face the challenge of attracting not only active members, but also students who have never attended a VESTING activity before. To reach the students, you have full control over all online channels of VESTING, such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Next to that you can let your imagination run free by designing posters, banners and TV slides, and organizing promotion stunts. Hence a lot of room to express your creativity and come up with your own ideas! 

Besides this, also guiding the marketing officers and supervising the multimedia committees are your responsibilities. To promote all VESTING Activities to the best extent possible, you will team up with the marketing officers to advise them in promotional tools and strategies and teach them how to work with Adobe InDesign.

Furthermore, you join forces with the multimedia committee to provide every VESTING Event with a beautiful aftermovie!

In short; are you a people's person, are you creative and are you comfortable organizing activities, then this function will suit you very well. For any questions, hop by at the VK or send me an email.
